PROLOUGE, TURN 4:
Khabi
Description: Khabi was a former stronghold for Kada Raiki a decade ago, but fell to Oshin Toko during the start of the Sulphur Campaign.
The local populace holds great disdain for Oshin, and have attempted to rebel against him to no avail. Oshin has since doubled his military presence at this militarily significant
settlement- it is quite close to some valuable sulphur deposits. There is open mistreatment by the occupiers towards the local people, who in turn strike back in whatever way they can.
The presence of local bandits, many of whom were once local inhabitants, has only added to the tension.
Prosperity: (2) Dirt: Nothing for sale, nobody has what they need (if that). Unskilled labour is cheap.
Population: (4)Growing: More people than buildings.
Defences: (6)Battalion: There is a major military presence here, and the stead has maintained defenses.
Resource: This stead has easy access to sulphur, however, Oshin has maintained strict control over this resource.
Trade: Oshin has taken control over this towns trade, and they receive the basic necessities and commodities in return for valuable Sulphur shipments.
"FLARE! Everyone move!"
Put one bullet in Guard 1, one in Guard 2, three in Guard 3, and get out of the area. If possible, try to get the villagers to move too.
(I'm not sure what the flare means, but I can guess.)
[5] You fire off rounds with amazing accuracy, striking all your targets, dealing ten damge to two of them and twenty to another! You then piece it out of there- that flare means more trouble, and this time they'll be prepared...
Use my MANLY GUN to fire an armor-piercing shell into Gamerlord.
(He is only slightly armoured- that is just cruel overkill. That said, what is this thing called 'overkill'?
[2]The round is a dud- you'll have to unjam it (which would take up a turn.)
Tear them to shre-god fucking damn it I went on another rampage.
Open fire.
[1-1] You accidently shoot yourself in the leg ! If you don't get out of there, you're going to get killed in the crossfire... or bleed to death. -15 health!
((The flare is probably a signal, maybe for reinforcements, maybe something else.))
See if there's any work in this town that doesn't involve shooting every person involved in the face, innocent or not.
[1] Everyone is in a panic, and you get knocked over and trampled underfoot- 4 damage and a sore back is now all yours.
Shoot three shots; one to the balls, one to the chest and one between the eyes.
((You forgot to target, but I'm going to be nice and assume it's Joe.))
[4] You mange to get some shots in from behind, dealing 20 damage. Even Immortal Joe can't take low blows lightly, it appears.
((I'll fill in Wwolin's turn when he comes back. 1/3 turn until he's booted, I'm going to send him a PM after I'm done the rest of turn.)) [2] Some of the villagers panic at the sight of reinforcements and flee!
[3] The Reinforcements enter the square, but only run to cover for now. The other guards back off to give the reinforcements cover fire, but don't hit anything.

Deadeye-More likely to hit on targets.

Character Sheet
Name: The Immortal Joe Bridger
Health:17
Armour:27
Age: 86
Description: A muscled old man in a wifebeater and a pink bathrobe-like kimono. He has an amazing wizard beard. His very presence glows with the epitome of MANLINESS. Others are merely men, but he is a MAN! Side affects of being a MAN may include action movie poses, impeded Austrian accents, and excessive sweat. Do not try to be a MAN while pregnant or nursing. Consult your MANACOLOGIST to see how being a MAN might affect you.
Abilities/Skills:
Take it like a MAN!-Joe's incredible resolve allows him to shrug off wounds which would kill or maim lesser men. He is therefore rather resistant to damage, even without armor.
CHAAARGE!-Working himself into a rage, Joe can MANCHARGE blindly forward at fast speeds, knocking aside whatever gets in his way.
MANSTRENGTH!-Joe's MANLINESS gives him incredible strength. This is mostly used to lift things or punch really hard.
Arms: Heavy Explosive Jars, Heavy Dragonheart Rifle with various ammo[Smoothbore,less accurate but packs a punch], Iron Fists with flint and steel impact activated explosive charges.
Armour: MANLY JUGGERNAUT PLATING! (Ultra Heavy)
Name: Alexander McDougall
Health:20
Armour:30
Age: 25
Description: Father and mother were sulphur miners, killed in an earthquake. Left parentless and penniless, he turned to a life of crime and mercenary work to support himself. Eventually paid off his dues, and he now stands a free man with a new identity, but he has the shadow of his old life behind him.
Abilities/Skills:
Experienced-Knows how to handle crazy situations, as he's been in plenty of them. He also knows how to handle his way around weapons, and has a stack of black market connections.
More likely to make unsavoury connections, but at the cost of being wanted by people in high places. Watch out for attentive militias!
Berserker-In a rage, his endurance and strength is inhuman, allowing him to send his favoured hammer flying into his enemies quickly and mercilessly. Will fall back to this mode if an innocent woman or a friend is under attack. +1 to all rolls for three turns, two turns to recharge.
3/3 turns, the rage boils over! 20/2 turns until you can bring forth your rightious anger!
Pickpocket-His life of destitution and criminal tendencies has given him the experience to pick the pockets of random passers by.
Arms: Shoulder mounted clockwork machine gun (SMCM) with a shitton of ammo, trusty explosive sledgehammer, electrical chakra powder charges (think powder charges that start off an arc of electricity).
Armour: Ultra heavy (is this comparable to like wearing a massive armor suit?)(Think inch thick slabs. Since their armour is based around RL ceramic armour, it isn't as heavy as you'd think)
Name:Claus D'Aurum
Health:38
Armour:9
Age: 48
Description: A rather twitchy clocksmith. Likes fiddling around with complex things.
Abilities/Skills:
Clocksmithing-Bonus to creating and maintaining complex, mechanical devices, especially clocks.
Kitbash-Great increase to item creation speed for a while, enough to make it practical in combat.
Sharpened Vision-Hours looking at tiny gears must have paid off. Bonus to perception, including aiming ranged weapons.
Arms: Combat Wrench,
Clockwork Rifle,
Throwable Powder ChargeArmour: Light
Character Sheet
Name: Willard Barnim Wollin
Age: 26
Health:50
Armour:10
Description: Willard's a fit and wiry young man brown hair and eyes, whose most defining features are his missing left hand and his ever so slightly crooked smile, which he seems to have on his face no matter what the situation may be.
Abilities/Skills:
Optimism: Willard can count the number of times he's ever gotten really upset on one hand. Hell, he can do it on his missing left hand. He's so goddamned upbeat that he can even ignore crippling injuries for a short period of time, although in the long run they hurt him just as badly as they would anyone else. Is less likely to experience shellshock, and can ignore otherwise crippling injuries for a time.
Silver Tongue: When you've only got one hand, reloading's a real pain in the ass. Fortunately, Willard's learned that a clever lie and a smile can be just as good as a gun at times, and even when someone's beyond negotiating with, he can swear at them for as long as it takes for him to load another bullet and settle things by force.
Arms: A sawed-off shotgun [Smoothbore] Ammo:14
Sack of dynamite Refined Demolition Gunpowder for when things get tough.
Armour: Light
